The Elegance at Hershey: Award Winners -- June 2012

Founded and launched in 2011 by car collector John W. Rich, Sr., The Elegance at Hershey was held for the second time at the Hotel Hershey in Pennsylvania on June 10, 2012. I am pleased to present in this gallery this year's award-winning cars. (To read the names of the awards, click on the thumbnail photos to enlarge them, and manually advance through the gallery.)

The extremely high quality of the automobiles in this year's show, as well as in last year's, inspires confidence that The Elegance at Hershey is here to stay as a major automotive event. Among the many distinguished attendees in 2012 were Bill Warner, founder and chairman of the Amelia Island Concours, and Sandra Button, chairman of the Pebble Beach Concours. Before the awarding ceremony, I photographed all of the 2012 entries on the show field. Those photos are featured in a separate gallery. For more information, visit the event's Web site at http://theeleganceathershey.com/ .

I used a handheld Nikon D300 with an 18-200mm Nikkor VR zoom lens to shoot the photos in this gallery. Note that the images and other content here are protected by copyright laws. All rights are reserved. Unauthorized use, copying, printing or direct linking is prohibited.
